Maybe you should do a White Trash Cookbook!! Feature the traditional and then haute version (I think this was a challenge in Top Chef). I see fingerling potatoes instead of tater tots. Braised pork belly instead of bacon…. but on second thought the trashier the better!!

Oh my goodness — I’ve been trying to convince my friend to go check out The Nook here in Atlanta (by Piedmont Park where that British pub used to be). They have a whole section of the menu devoted to “totchos” – six different types, including “Red Neck,” “Creole” and “Black & Blue.” Fox Brothers BBQ also has a version of this with tater tots, brunswick stew and cheddar. YUM.
